Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

大家都没变，世界其实也没变，所以并不会变好。
一份迷思
是无条件的爱拯救了她 给了她勇气和力量 爱是无论你经历过什么 无论你是什么样 都会永远爱你 / 上帝会听见你的声音 如果你相信 如果你愿意自救 / 女主鼓起勇气说出真相救了两小女孩时真的太感人了（有几个世人可以拥有如此坚定 永不消失的爱）
一部美国西部爱情片，关于信仰爱情和救赎的故事，美国电影的特点就是总有些过度美化故事的感觉。明明是黑暗的美国西部偏偏还要配上美丽的风景和纯情的男女，反正文化洗脑真厉害。
我连《2020去死》还丢在硬盘里没来得及看呢，2021又该去死了。
传奇之爱，在上帝见证下的伟大爱情💖🌏🌍🌊🌹🌹
以及，当你悔不当初、深夜辗转时，你有勇气、有机会去从头开始吗？
2021最大收获就是知道所有人在2020没有收获并在2021变本加厉。网飞真狠，逮着一个骂一个，甚至不放过自家的产品。USA里，多元人种的他们在高喊BLM，大洋彼岸的神州大地，一群黄皮肤粉红心巴不得把自己的小眼睛同类赶出去。好美的2021
不好笑，1个小时的流水账，还夹带私货说了半天《布里奇顿》和《鱿鱼游戏》
谁可以这样爱人？谁可以这样爱人！没有“人”可以凭自己做到的吧
“we didnt learn anything from 2020”
作为2020的续集，2021就像Meta一样令人窒息
宗教味道真的浓，同样的情节，中外拍出来，主题不同
没有2020那么好笑了 expectation太高... 喜欢Gemma真的太呆妹了 那个culture commentator是不是影射Fran Lebowitz lol
这剧情，就离谱。。圣母男主啊啊啊。。额额额。。为什么这样拍。。好吧。。我追的是女三，明明和我一样89年，国外妹子显老啊。。哎哎哎。。哈哈哈。。
如果不是基督徒 估计看不懂里面的寓意 难怪分这么低 评论这么歪
哈哈哈心機雅薇 他又愛你又給你自由意志 最後你沒有辦法只好回來 畢竟誰能拒絕這樣的愛呢（茶花女happy ending版）
感觉男主爱的很莫名其妙，神的旨意？女主的成长还比较有逻辑一点，看完我都觉得这部电影就是在传教。。。虽然原著就是宣传基督教义的
2021年12月31日，观看《2021去死》作为本年度观影收官之作。新年愿望，希望不要再有《2022去死》了。
Is there any chance... any chance I could fix it all, love u again😔
